Format:Paperback
I got a copy of this book in the old cover style and it has definitely been a lifesaver.
All the recipes are easy, you don't need any fancy equipment and the dishes range from incredibly cheap to something to splash out on (Like the vodka chili!!) although the majority of them will definitely not break the bank.
Although it is a student cookbook I'd recommend it to anyone as some meals are impressive enough to serve to guests, but it also has fun family meals as well. All quantities are for 2 people so easy to divide or multiply up as well. I also like the snacks and standbys section at the end which has great lunchtime recipes.
This book was written by combining the Student cookbook and the Vegetarian student cookbook, so there are a lot of vegetarian recipes and a fair amount of recipes which are adaptable for vegetarians and non vegetarians. I found a few old favourite recipes in here but the grand majority are new dishes I'd never tried before and that made it fun as well.
Another thing I like about the book is each recipe is rated on how long it takes to cook and prepare, which is useful if you are starving. And the instructions are simple and concise so you don't get put off, without being patronising.

Just purchased this book for my daughter who has just started uni. Although still living at home she has taken a sudden interest in cooking making me loads of luvverly dishes. The book is well laid out with easy instructions and the recipes are full of healthy ingredients which are easily accessed. I love the twist at the end of the book on how to make a banana sandwich!! I now know that when my daughter does move into accommodation she will be able to be self sufficient without pigging out on takeaways. Excellent stocking filler for all students

This is a really handy little book for inexperienced cooks, it's got a lot of really simple mealsto help anyone get by. The recipes are quite simplistic but you can always expand them to make them more exciting

Very Useful
This book will be very useful for my son who is off to uni in September. There are some good recipes which should ensure that he does not live on convenience foods.

This book is not just for students, it's a must for all cooks
This is an excellent cookbook. Easy to make dishes most can be made from the things you have in your cupboard and freezer.

It's ok
The recipes in this book are... ok. My problem with it is that it is a little too simple by itself. You couldn't rely on these recipes for too long. Read more

No photos but great recipes.
The recipes in this are great but are probably not entirely new-to-cooking-student friendly. Having bought another student cookbook (nosh for students) you can really see the... Read more
